Event Description
|
The health care provider (hcp) via a manufacturer representative reported that the patient did well for the first several months and then about a year after receiving the device, the patient had a bad fall.A follow-up esophagogastroduodenoscopy (egd) at the time did not reveal lead migration or abnormal impedance readings.The patient was managed trying different stimulation settings, but never returned to their previous outcomes before the fall.A second egd revealed a bulge in the mucosa/submucosa of the patient's stomach where the leads were.An x-ray of the stomach also revealed that the device had moved and rotated in the pocket site.On (b)(6) 2016, the patient was sent for a complete system revision to replace the leads and stimulator.The battery was explanted as it was close to expiration and this was considered normal battery depletion.The procedure was successful and the implant impedance was 448 ohms with the new system.There was no patient death.The indication for use for this patient was gastric stimulation.
